What? It was absolutely holding. Geeez people

Incredibly impressed with Browning. That definitely wasn’t luck. That was skill, poise and preparation. Very well done. Great story.

Yeah right….that was the strategy. Come on!

So that’s why they ran the ball on first down? Come on! These coaches are literally clueless.

Looks like McD is phoning in the strategy.

WTF! Do NOT call the timeout!

Isn’t that a penalty when you take your helmet off?

True, but with the Bills designing a facility from scratch would it be that hard to have something close? (And isn’t Jacksonville getting a new one soon?)

Hate to be that guy….but has anyone noticed the size of that video board in Jacksonville’s stadium? Sheeesh! In the few renderings we’ve seen of the new Bills stadium it won’t have anything even close.

Not actual aggressiveness but ‘appropriate’ aggressiveness. That pretty much sums up the McD ere. 😉

Is this the new NFL? These two quarterbacks are working on a 90% completion percentage for the entire first half. Geeeez!

I won’t be fooled again!

As another thread shows, the other teams all play at least one game against another of the contenders whereas the Bills don’t, so somebody is losing in those head to head games. With that said, the Bills are going to have to run the table unless a couple of the other teams totally collapse. It’s just math.

I said it during the game, and I’m not sure if it was the reason, but I noticed that Cook changed his gloves after dropping that pass in the rain. It’s possible that they played a factor.

Why exactly? Josh Allen is the most expensive employee in the entire Pegula empire. You don’t think the guy who’s paying him all that money doesn’t have an open door policy when it comes to his opinion? Or is it just the way the original poster phrased it?

It’s the COACH that keeps them from playing that way. This isn’t all that complicated!

I have absolutely no idea what the ‘keep the coach’ crowd think he’s being criticized for….so let me make it simple: He is flat out TERRIBLE at late game decision making! That’s not something he’s going to delegate in 2024 or beyond.

Thanks for putting this together! The Mods should definitely pin this one to the top of the page….and you can update it each week. Well done! With that said…we can all now watch with a glass half full mindset. Are the Bills going to the playoffs? Almost surely not. But it’ll be fun to see if they can make some noise down the stretch.

Well said Gregg. Coach McD has clearly topped out, and he shows zero signs of changing. He makes the exact same strategic mistakes game after game. Thats a REAL problem because as the HC nobody is going to overrule him at those critical moments. You can have the best roster in the world, but if the Coach keeps ‘f’ing’ up in the final few minutes you’re going to look back say “woulda….coulda”. Time to thank him and move on! And after you do you’ll still have Josh Allen. So where’s the harm?

I have never understood the seemingly blind loyalty of so many Buffalo fans. Maybe it’s true in all cities but it’s definitely so in WNY. I have absolutely no idea what people see from McD that gives even the slightest suggestion that he’s the guy who’ll take them to a championship. Whereas I’ve seen tons of evidence that he can’t. Wining a Super Bowl isn’t supposed to be like landing on Jupiter. One team does it every single year.

And the last piece falls into place! Go Bills

The problem with that particular set up on that particular play is you’d have to be The Flash to get to the QB in time to stop a three yard pass route. Even Romo said at the time ‘What the heck are the Bills doing?’ That situation had nothing to do with injuries to anyone. It was just an unbelievably poor defensive strategy when all the Eagles needed was a measly three yards. Again…..sheesh!

Didn’t read through all of this but what McDs ‘strategy’ showed is that he has ZERO confidence in his Franchise QB to not turn the ball over with 20 seconds left. For that alone, he should be fired!

I was flipping channels and saw last Sunday’s game was being replayed on NFL Network. When I joined it was the end of Eagles overtime drive. Literally the last minute of the game. The Eagles had a 3rd down on our 40 yard line and they picked up the easiest First down since kids starting playing in their backyard. McDs defense was playing ten yards off the line of scrimmage on a Third and Three. The receiver walked out, turned around, caught the ball and stepped out of bounds. I’d seen enough! Sheesh

Scott…if you’re enough to be retired, you should be old enough to know how people will react if you toss the word ‘bro’ at others. With that said, I go back to my original comment….this team is unprepared and the throw to Davis is just another example, regardless of whose fault it is. As I’m sure you’ll agree, the real measuring stick is will anyone at OBD learn from these mistakes. I’m betting on not.
